Well we found its a boy. We got all sorts of pictures of his foot, his little body and his face. We have one name we are seriously considering but we're not sharing it with anyone until he's born.
That's the good news... I got a call from the nurse at my OB/GYN office telling me that she made an appointment with a Perinatologist. I haven't been able to get a hold of the doctor or the nurse and now i'm really worried because I don't know why I'm being referred out.
So I looked up the defination of Perinatologist:
Perinatology is a subspecialty of obstetrics. These are doctors who have had extensive training in the field of high risk obstetrics. Perinatologists are concerned with the care of the mother and fetus at higher-than-normal risk for complications.
Some patients may be referred to a Perinatologist if their fetus has a suspected or known abnormality, an abnormal karyotype (such as Down syndrome), or a maternal condition which may affect the fetus. Patients can be referred at any point during their pregnancy at the discretion of their referring obstetrician.
That does not ease my nerves and now I have no idea whats wrong with me or my baby. I want to call Blair but I don't want to worry him.
